(2015–16) In order to promote
The Velvet Rope and the single, Jackson performed "Together Again" at the
American Music Awards of 1998. The singer has also performed the song on all of her tours since its release. She included the song on the 1998
The Velvet Rope Tour. Dressed up in "chandeliers and sensible clothing", it was performed as the closing song from the concert. Jon Pareles from
The New York Times viewed the performance as "an elegy disguised as an arm-waving, feel-good song". The performance of the song at the October 11, 1998, show in
New York City, at the
Madison Square Garden, was broadcast during a special titled
The Velvet Rope: Live in Madison Square Garden by
HBO. It was also added to the setlist at its DVD release,
The Velvet Rope Tour – Live in Concert in 1999. It was again performed as the encore on the
All for You Tour in support of her follow-up album,
All for You in 2001 and 2002. Gina Vivinetto from
St. Petersburg Times, while reviewing the concert, described the performance, "The show closed with a buoyant "Together Again" that found Jackson grinning, surrounded by dancers moving in refreshing, unscripted merriment". The February 16, 2002, final date of the tour at the
Aloha Stadium in
Hawaii, was broadcast by HBO, and included a performance of "Together Again". This rendition was also added to the setlist at its DVD release,
Janet: Live in Hawaii, in 2002. Jackson also performed it on
VH1's
The Concert for New York City benefit concert which paid tribute to victims of the
September 11 attacks the same year. In 2004, while promoting her eighth studio album,
Damita Jo, Jackson made surprise performances of "Together Again" and "
All Nite (Don't Stop)" at
New York's Gay Pride March. "Together Again" was one of her older songs on the 2008
Rock Witchu Tour, her first tour in seven years. It was at the middle of the setlist. She was dressed in a gold and black glam hip-hop-inspired track suit, and one gold glove.
Variety magazine's Phil Gallo likened her vocals in the song to that of Diana Ross'.
Rap-Up noted the audience "went wild" during the song. While reviewing the Vancouver concert, Marsha Lederman of
The Globe and Mail noted that the most memorable moment of the show was when Jackson "stopped on the catwalk after her hit "Together Again", listened to the crowd roar its approval, and became emotional—really emotional. We're talking tears. 'Thank you,' she said—seeming to really mean it, as she waved her hands, begging the audience to stop", she completed. It also was the closing song of her concert at
Essence Music Festival in New Orleans, in July 2010, which she headlined. "Together Again" was again performed as a closing number on her
Number Ones: Up Close and Personal 2011 tour as a dedication to her late brother, Michael Jackson, wearing a tight white one-piece disco suit. MTV News' writer Vaughn Schoonmaker noted that the song appeared to be the biggest hit of the show. Writing for the
Hartford Courant, Thomas Kintner pointed out that "A finale of 'Together Again', offered as a simple tribute that recalled her brother again, proved the evening's highlight, a relaxed trip through the sort of juicy pop Jackson has stockpiled throughout her career, and which still charms when she lets it run". Jackson also included the song on her 2015–16
Unbreakable World Tour. The song is also included on the 2017-2019
State of the World Tour. Jackson also included the song on her 2019 Las Vegas residency
Janet Jackson: Metamorphosis. Jackson later named her
2023 tour after the song, and performed it in multiple versions throughout the show: The
DJ Premier 100 in a 50 remix at the beginning of the show, the Deeper remix at the middle, and, as the encore, the album version. ==Impact and legacy==
